Shakkar Para, also known as Shankarpali in Maharashtra, is a delightful Indian sweet snack enjoyed across the country, especially during Diwali and Holi. Prepared with wheat flour or maida, ghee, and a touch of cardamom, the dough is rolled out, cut into small diamond shapes, deep-fried until golden, and coated in sugar syrup for a glossy, sweet finish. Light, crisp, and mildly sweet, Shakkar Para is loved by both kids and adults alike. Its long shelf life makes it a perfect festive snack to prepare in bulk and share with family and friends. Whether paired with tea, served as a festive gift, or enjoyed as a crunchy dessert, Shakkar Para is a timeless sweet that brings joy to every bite.
